Heavy Metal Toxicity Treatment in Portland, Oregon

What is Heavy Metal Toxicity

Heavy metal toxicity occurs when harmful levels of metals—such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium—accumulate in the body over time. These toxic elements can interfere with essential biological functions, including hormone regulation, neurological balance, and cellular detoxification. Chronic exposure may go unnoticed for years, yet it often contributes to fatigue, brain fog, immune dysfunction, and long-term health complications.

At Restorative Health Clinic in Portland, OR, we specialize in identifying and treating heavy metal toxicity using advanced diagnostics and personalized detoxification protocols. Our integrative approach includes phosphatidylcholine-enhanced chelation therapy to stabilize cellular membranes, improve detox capacity, and support whole-body healing.

Common Sources of Heavy Metal Exposure Include:

• Contaminated food and water (e.g., fish high in mercury, rice high in arsenic)

• Air pollution from industrial emissions

• Occupational exposure (mining, construction, manufacturing)

• Household items such as paints, batteries, cosmetics, and cookware

• Dental amalgams containing mercury

Symptoms and Risk Factors of Heavy Metal Toxicity

• Common Symptoms Include:

  • Neurological Issues: Brain fog, memory loss, headaches, anxiety, depression, and mood swings.
  • Digestive Problems: Nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea.
  • Chronic Fatigue: Persistent exhaustion, even with adequate rest.
  • Muscle and Joint Pain: Aches, stiffness, or weakness.
  • Immune Dysfunction: Frequent illnesses or autoimmune reactions.
  • Cardiovascular Issues: High blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, or poor circulation.

  If you experience these symptoms and suspect heavy metal exposure, expert care can identify and address the underlying cause.

Diagnosis of Metal Toxicity

• Urine and hair heavy metal testing (pre- and post-chelation challenge)

• Blood tests to evaluate oxidative stress, nutrient status, and organ function

• Functional medicine labs to assess gut integrity and immune response
